Yes, I just looked at the PAS16 manual and it only mentions using a 16 bit
slot (I wondered if it was one of those cards that would run in an 8 bit slot
in some sort of fashion - I seem to remember some Trident video cards able to
do that)
Curiously the diagrams in the manual all show an IBM XT case and an 8 bit slot
though!
I've got fond memories of the PAS16 - it's what got me started using SCSI all
over the place years ago rather than IDE; it worked like a charm for disks
(just non-bootable) despite only really being intended for CDROM drives.

Don't overlook things like PC sound
cards--some had SCSI adapters
built on
The problem with this is that the 5150 has 8-bit slots and most of the
sound cards with SCSI chips on them (Pro Audio Spectrum, etc.) are
16-bit ISA cards.
